better operation of --scale option which now scales human readable text and MaxiCode.
COMPILING THE CODE
------------------
This package includes files for compiling in a number of ways depending on what functionality you
want and what platform you are targeting. Zint has been tested on both 32 and 64-bit systems.
It does not use any unusual memory manipulation and so should easily port to a wide range of hardware.
The CMake Method: (Linux, BSD and Cygwin)
The easiest way to configure compilation is to take advantage of the CMake utilities. You will
need to install CMake first. If no Qt libraries are installed then CMake will not attempt to
build the Zint Barcode Studio GUI. Similarly if libpng is not detected then CMake will not attempt
to compile PNG image support.
GNU/Linux and OpenBSD:
To compile the Zint library for you will need libpng and libz pre-installed. Then:
make
make install
For some distributions it may be necessary to run
ldconfig
as root before libzint can be used.
To install the GUI interface you will need Qt4 and cmake. Follow these steps:
Once CMake is installed follow these steps:
cd build
cmake ..
make -j2
make
make install
The command line program can be accessed by typing

The MakeFile Method:
(Linux, BSD and MinGW)
MakeFiles are provided for some systems although this method is depreciated. To compile using
this method simply run:
make
make install
If compiling on BSD, RHEL or CentOS substitute MakeFile.bsd for the default MakeFiles.
If compiling on MinGW substitute MakeFile.mingw for the default MakeFiles.
MS Windows:
On the Windows platform you have the choice of compiling with MinGW or with the native compiler,
Microsoft Visual C++. To compile with MinGW follow the instructions for Linux above substituting
the MinGW makefiles for the default Linux ones. For compiling with MS Visual Studio open the
libzint.vcproj project file in the win32 folder and compile in the usual way.
Compiling on Cygwin and MinGW are covered above. Compiling with MS Visual Studio is more involved!
Full instructions are currently not available but will be placed on the project website as soon
as possible.
Mac OSX:
HELP NEEDED! It _is_ possible to compile and run Zint on the OSX platform. Unfortunately the
developers of the Zint package do not have access to OSX. If you have any success with comiling
Zint on OSX then please send us a description of how you did it so that we can put that
information here!
Efforts are currently under way to allow compiling on OSX using the CMake method. If you have
any success with compiling Zint on OSX then please get in touch.
